Gotha Go 145

A beautiful (if incomplete) in-flight shot of Gotha Go 145 TH+FJ. According to the information available to me, this two-seat biplane trainer was operated by 3./JFS 2, Magdeburg-Ost, Germany, in the summer of 1940. Aircraft is likely finished in 02.

The Go 145 was designed by Albert Kalkert (subsequently of Go 242, Go 244, and Ka 430 fame) and powered by an Argus As 10 C engine. It remained operational with the Luftwaffe from the mid-1930s until the end of the war. (German Aviation 1919-1945 collection)
